WARNING
䢇NEVER point tool at yourself or others in work area.
䢇Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving
nails to avoid accidental firing.
䢇Choice of triggering method is important.
Please read and understand “Methods of
Operation” below.
䢇Before starting work, check the nailing operation
switching device.
This Hitachi nailer includes a nailing operation
switching device.
Before starting work, make sure that the
switching device is properly set.
If the switching device is not set properly, the
nailer will not operate correctly.
䢇Never place your hands or feet closer than 8
inches (200 mm) from firing head when using.
䢇Do not drive nails on top of other nails or with
Nailer at too steep of an angle; nails can ricochet
and hurt someone.
䢇Do not drive nails into thin boards or near corners
and edges of workpiece. Nails can be driven
through or away from workpiece and hit
someone.
䢇Never drive nails from both sides of a wall at the
same time. Nails can be driven into and through
the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
䢇Never use Nailer which is defective or operating
abnormally.
䢇Do not use Nailer as hammer.
䢇Disconnect air hose from Nailer when:
1) it is not in use;
2) leaving work area;
3) moving it to another location; and
4) handing it to another person.
This Hitachi nailer is equipped with a nailer operation
switching device.
Use SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM or CONTACT
ACTUATION MECHANISM in accordance with the work to
be performed.
A FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM KIT
(SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM KIT) is also available as
an option. Part no. 884069.
Explanation of the various nailing operations
䡬SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM (SINGLE
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM): First, press
the push lever against the wood; next, pull the trigger
to drive the nail.
First, pull the trigger; next, press the push lever
against the wood to drive the nail.
After nailing once, nailing will not be possible again
until the trigger is released and pressed again.
䡬CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM: First, press the
push lever against the wood; next, pull the trigger to
drive the nail.
First, pull the trigger; next, press the push lever
against the wood to drive the nail.
If the trigger is held back, a nail will be driven each
time the push lever is pressed against the wood.
䡬FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM: First,
press the push lever against the wood; next, pull the
trigger to drive the nail. Follow the same sequence to
continue driving nails.
METHODS OF OPERATIONThis Nailer is equipped with the push lever and does not
operate unless the push lever is depressed (upward
position).
There are two methods of operation to drive nails with
this Nailer.
They are:
1. Intermittent operation (Trigger fire):
2. Continuous operation (Push lever fire):
(1) Intermittent operation (Trigger fire)
Use the SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM setting.
WARNING
䢇Unlike the FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
MECHANISM, please note that the SINGLE
ACTUATION MECHANISM of this Hitachi nailer
will drive a nail each time the push lever is
pressed against the wood as long as the trigger is
pressed.
䢇For intermittent operation, set the switching
device to the upward position completely. (i.e.
Set to SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM.)
䢇To avoid double firing or accidental firing due to
recoil.
1) Set the switching device to SINGLE
ACTUATION MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.
1Set the switching device to the upward position
(to set to SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM).
(Set the switching device to the upward position
completely as shown in the diagram. Otherwise, it
will be set to CONTACT ACTUATION
MECHANISM.)
2Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with
finger off the trigger.
3Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely
depressed.
4Pull the trigger to drive a nail.
5Remove finger from the trigger.
To continue nailing in a separate location, move the
nailer along the wood, repeating steps 2 - 5 as
required.
